About this event
The Credit Crunch, 2007. ‘Irish Twins’ Sarah and Jamie are growing up in Belfast with a shared obsession of music and the weight of parents on the breadline. Pop, rock and punk rails against austerity Britain and an ever-failing Tory-government, giving these siblings an epic score to navigate lives that are destined for different paths. Oasis, The Jam, Springsteen and Sam Fender songs scream at the state of the nation, tugging at the memories of what it means to grow up on benefits in a country where poverty became a punchline. Benefits Britain never sounded so good… A defiant “rip-roaring tour de force” fuelled by the music and people who speak to your soul and punch you in the gut. This multi-award-winning gig-theatre show rejoices in working class strength with wit, integrity, and disarming honesty. SkelpieLimmer Productions & Brassneck Theatre Company .

A different kind of night
Not the same tradition as the lineage above — a genuinely different thread to pull, if you want one.
